We Now Know What Meds Trump Takes For His Hair But Zilch On His Tax Returns

Before the genuine possibility of America becoming a totalitarian regime, President Donald Trump’s hair was a goddamn hoot. Its angles, slants, and curvatures mystified the masses, and oh, what fun we had with our “toupee” puns. 

And then Jimmy Fallon did this:
 
 

Well, now the bloke is running the show, and it’s all a bit less funny. It’s also been revealed what exactly Trump does to his mane to make it do… that. And, much like his reign thus far, we’d rather just find out it’s fake instead of having the truth revealed.

According to his longtime doctor Harold N. Bernstein – the same one whose fucking ridiculous letter of recommendation made the rounds last year – Trump takes small doses of the drug finasteride to promote his hair growth. 

The New York Times noted this revelation made sense of an interesting part of Trump’s medical records. 

You see, finasteride impacts some hormones and other biological compounds in an attempt to reduce a particular type of balding; one of ’em is related to the prostate, and upon seeing some of his test results, urologists speculated Trump may have undergone treatment for prostate cancer.

Nope. He’s just taking it for his hair, which is actually perfectly acceptable use for the drug, but finasteride’s relevance here is magnified by the fact it’s being used to prop up one of the most continually pondered manes of the past fifty years. 

In case you were wondering, Bernstein confirmed Trump to take two other medication: one for his blood cholesterol, and one that’s used to treat rosacea. 

So, there it is. We know what pills the man takes in the morning, but we’re still without any in-depth knowledge regarding his bloody tax returns.
